Find the right speaker for your next event
Every day we hear of stories of people who are ‘successful’ and see the blueprints of their work. What we mostly hear is that most of them have built from the rubbles; created empires out of nothing. We also know that most have had their hard work meeting just the right opportunity. However, there is an element that we need to interrogate in order to not only rise to the level of our success but also unleash our potential and make a significant contribution to this world – our mind-set. My mission is to help you work on your thinking to create a winning mind-set. Unlike anything conventional that you have seen or heard, I focus on your story. I help you build from your own story. This is because we do not experience adversity the same and therefore can never follow the same formula. Mine is to use the strength you’ve developed through your adversity to reveal your true power and hence reach your potential. I know this is possible because I too have built from the rubbles. I too have had to push against the limitations and used every little experience as an inspiration to rise above what I was told I could not do. Using the power of coaching and my experience working with those who rose from nothing, I can help you build a mind-set that will help you build the life that you want.

Martijn De Wever Founded London based venture capital firm Force Over Mass, and following this was inspired to build startup ecosystem Floww. After making 160 investments in tech startups, De Wever had enough data to recognize a path to optimise the startup and venture capital ecosystem. Currently, Founders receive access to funding primarily through ‘warm introductions’ to investors. Meaning startups and Founders without existing connections to money, find it harder to get in front of investors who still rely on formal introductions to find their next unicorn. From the investor view point, the ecosystem is opaque without clean data or metrics. Again meaning that investors often rely on bias when sourcing startups and backing Founders. De Wever saw the need to create a fairer ecosystem for funding and built Floww. Floww allows startups to meet investors based on merit and metrics, rather than warm intros within the old boys club of venture capital.

Bill Stainton, CSP is a 29-time Emmy Award winner and a Hall of Fame keynote speaker. As the Executive Producer of Seattle’s legendary comedy TV show Almost Live!, he led his team to over 100 Emmy Awards of their own, and ten straight years of #1 ratings. Along the way, he worked with—and learned from—people like Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen DeGeneres, and Bill Nye the Science Guy. Bill is the author of The Executive Producer, Lead Like the Beatles, and The Innovation Blueprint, has been cited in Forbes and The Wall Street Journal, and has been a regular columnist for Seattle Business magazine. He’s written hundreds of articles on the topics of Innovation and Creativity, Leadership, and Producing Under Pressure, in addition to authoring nine corporate training programs on subjects like Customer Service, Office Politics, and Employee Engagement. He has also written for HBO, Comedy Central, and The Tonight Show. His first book, The 5 Best Decisions the Beatles Ever Made, has been used in the business courses of several colleges and universities. Bill has also taught Leadership at the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business and Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania, and Comedy Writing at the University of Michigan. Professionally, Bill is a CSP (Certified Speaking Professional), the speaking industry’s highest earned international measure of excellence. Fewer than 5% of professional speakers worldwide have achieved this designation. And in 2019, Bill was inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame, joining fewer than 185 speakers in the world in this exclusive club. All of this from a guy who grew up behind a dairy farm in the Amish countryside of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. A strange start, perhaps, for someone who then spent 20 years in television, rubbing shoulders with celebrities and rock stars (he’s played drums with members of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and the Who). But it all comes together on stage, where Bill brings his unique life experience to every customized program. Bill is passionate about innovation and creative thinking. He has helped thousands of people in hundreds of organizations—like Microsoft, Boeing, and Nike—generate breakthrough ideas by tapping into their own natural creativity. On a personal note, Bill is also a pilot and a musician, although rarely at the same time. For more, visit BillStainton.com.

Girls Chronically Rock LLC was inspired by Keisha Greaves whom is from Cambridge, MA whom always had a passion for Fashion and knew one day she would own her own business. Girls Chronically Rock was inspired by Keisha who was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy in 2011 while pursuing her MBA degree in graduate school. Keisha started to feel very weird symptoms in her legs and upper body with repeatedly falling and could raise her arm up to the full extent and she knew something was not right. After doing many different testing’s, the Doctor finally diagnosed her with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. Fast forward a few years later, Keisha began to cope at the fact that she had Muscular Dystrophy and knew she wouldn’t let this stop pursuing her dreams. Keisha wanted to create an apparel line something that incorporated the word “chronic” in it to abbreviate Chronic Illness. So, one day Girls Chronically Rock came to my mind and she loved it and knew she wanted that to be her business name. She wanted to create something to inspire and motivate others who maybe battling a chronic illness or going through something in their everyday life. She created a line if inspirational shirts that have many quotes/meanings and the top two are: such “Trust Your Dopeness” which means trust and believe in yourself, no matter what you maybe going through, or what to accomplish, “trust your dopeness.” Another one she says is” Hello my name is Chronically Ill Badass” which means we are awesome regardless if we have a chronic illness or not and we are proud of it. Keisha plans to expand her Girls Chronically Rock brand with many more merchandise soon such as bags, socks and sweatshirts and many more. Keisha has also been thinking to creating a Girls Chronically Rock adaptive clothing line for people with disabilities since it is very hard for people with disabilities to get dressed on a regular basis. Keisha continues to have so many ideas she wants to do with Girls Chronically Rock business and turn it into bigger and better things under the GCR umbrella.
